Living a healthy lifestyle has always been a very strong part of me. From taking care of my skin,
eating healthy, working out, to practicing yoga however has been a bit hard last year, since I
spent a lot of time on the road. With all the traveling comes less your routine can easily end
turned upside down. For 2018 I made New Year’s resolutions to take good care of my skin, work
out regularly and always bring my yoga mat along to practice, even during traveling.
I’ve never had the best skin. It has gotten better now, that I’m doing things to take care of it,
wearing the right BB cream, the right face cream and washing my makeup off at night. I’m also
BB cream...

From snow, film critics to movie stars, Sundance film festival was one of the best movie festival's I have ever been to. I was lucky enough to be at my first Sundance with Chase Sapphire in beautiful Salt Lake City. Thanks to Chase for making this experience smooth and fun.
Here is a little guide to Sundance with Chase Sapphire.
First off, Sundance is very cold and it was snowing but beautiful so if you ever plan to go bring the right clothes and come to have fun.
There is lots going on at the Chase Sapphire Lounge. Most notably having cooking lessons with top chef Kristen Kish. She showed live how to take apart a lobster and make a delicious meal.She could also be found serving her signature donuts at...

There is one place in Africa that stole my heart on our African trip and it’s Kenya. Today’s blog post is going to be my guide to Kenya and why everyone should take a trip to Mama Africa and visit Kenya.
Why visit Kenya
I have never been to Kenya before, it was my first time, so we decided to do just five days in Kenya which I regretted because it’s just not enough time to spent in such a big and special country, but those days were well spent for sure.
The Kenyan are fun, kind, educated, beautiful and very helpful. The city is very developed and some parts are not, but that’s the same for many countries in the world. Did...

Going from sitting at home watching the Golden Globes to actually being at the Golden Globes and walking the red carpet was a night to remember!
Hello you guys and happy new Year! 2018 all started with a great surprise of being Raffael's date (my boyfriend) at the 75th Golden Globes awards. It was one of the most historical and magical night in not only my life, but the life of so many A-list celebrities in Hollywood. I was so honored and blessed to be attending and walking the red carpet like all the stars for the 2nd time. So today’s blog post is going to be about my experience at the Golden Globes 2018 Awards.
I’d be lying to you if...

Happy holidays everyone. I hope all of you have exciting plans ahead to celebrate Christmas. I can’t believe how fast 2017 came and went and I am already making plans for next year. Speaking of plans, I had a new car as one of my plans. It then turned out I got an early Christmas present when Volvo approached me to test drive their new car the Volvo XC60.

When I sat in it for the first time it was an amazing feeling. It feels so next generation being a hybrid with a large touch screen system and huge sunroof. I couldn’t wait to take it for a spin along the pacific coast Highway in Los Angeles. It feels really luxurious...

I don’t know where to start because I’m so over joyed! I think I will start by saying thanks to my amazing Under Armour Women team for all the love and support they have given me. If you’re new to my blog, I became a brand ambassador for Under Armour Women about five months ago and since then, my life has changed so much, in a very good way I want to add.. I have loved the brand for a very long time, from the way they give back to society, the amazing team, the very comfortable clothing and most importantly, the voice they give to people like me. So when I was asked to join and become an ambassador,...

When it comes to makeup, the first thing I think about is, long lasting foundation with great benefits that's clean and evens my skin tone, but it is really difficult to find the right shade for my skin. To be honest, I do not have an even skin tone which I have come to understand that a lot of women of color have the same problem. Did you know, you have an under tone? Trust me, I had no idea what that meant for the longest time and I would buy foundation that did not complement my skin at all. Just because you have a darker complexion doesn’t mean you’ll be able to wear dark shades that often have a golden undertone....

Fall, is one of my favorite seasons, not only does it still feel like summer but the fall collections of clothing are quite exciting. The colors are bold, beautiful and it brings your closet to life. This fall, red and burgundy are the trendy colors and these are colors that work on all skin tones and can be worn at anytime of the day. My favorite fall trend is 70s Plaid. When you hear plaid, you typically think of '90s grunge. But this fall is all about the bright plaid from the '70s and I'm loving it. I already owned a couple a plaid pieces and hopefully I get to wear them at fashion week. This trend is so fun...

Hello my loves,
I'm so excited to be talking about all things skin care today because if you really know me, you will know that I usually wear little makeup and try my best to take good care of my skin. I have to be honest, my skin these few months has not been doing so well. Our skin gets so stressed from all the work, travels and what we put in our body. I started to get breakouts I never had before and I was really worried about my skin plus I have quite oily skin.
My focus for this summer was to start taking good care of my skin to go makeup free on my Bali summer vacation and my...

It has been so long since I spent 3 weeks at home and I got to say, it feels so good. Don't get me wrong, I'm so lucky and grateful for all the traveling opportunities lately and I love traveling but sometimes, home is enough. I'm talking about taking a break from living in your suitcases and seeing friends. I have some fun and exciting trips coming up this weekend so I decided to take a break and show myself some love before getting on the road again.
You know, sometimes we take advantage of our friends and don't realize the important parts they play in our lives. I don't have that many friends but the ones that I have now,...
